Hello. I am a 36 year old male and my nose has been bleeding for 6 days now off and on. It started on Sunday. I sneezed and all of a sudden blood started pouring out of my nose like you were pouring a cup of water. I pinched my nose and the bleeding wouldn't stop. After about 20 minutes I had my wife drive me to the hospital. It was coming out of both nostrils and going down my throat. By the time went got to the hosiptal it had stopped and we only talked to a nurse and he said to go to an ENT because he didn't know anything about and that we should go see an ENT. Monday I was drozzy all with pressure behind my right eye and the top of my head felt like it was burned. Tuesday we went to see a speialist and all he did was look up my nose for 2 seconds and cauterized one spot with the chemical sulfer nitrate. 4 hours later my nose was bleeding again. We would get it to stop then 30 minutes later it would start again. After the 5th time we went to the hospital. However when we get to the hospital it stopped bleeding. The doctors there cauterized it again in two different spots with the chemcal. Then they stuck a nose plug up into my nostril and said that will stop it and to have it taken out in a couple of days. They did blood work and said eerything was fine. 36 hours later blood started running down my throat and out the nostril with the plug. We went to the hospital for the third time. They took out the plug and called in a specialist(ent) to check it out. Before the doctor even look at me they brought in a welder looking machine and needles. So they already knew what they were going to do before the even look to find out what the problem was. The Doctor shot novacane into my nose 3 times and cauterized it with and electrical charge. (monopolar) Then she put some fiber to help clot the blood up there. She told us that will do the trick and that we had to see her again in a week. The next day my nose again started to bleed. Now, I haven't sneezed, I haven't blew my nose nothing the whole time this is happening. I spit out huge blood clots and the come out me nose too. I have headaches and still pressure in me face on my right side. We stop the blood, then again in a couple minutes it would start again. So we went back to the hospital where again they look at us like we are stupid for being there. They did nothing and said we have to wait all weekend to see another specialist. So, it is still bleeding off and on. I am frustrated and don't know what to do any more. Can any one help?Reply Follow This Thread Stop Following This Thread Flag this Discussion

"It's happening again."
So begins a column over at Irish Central by Cahir O'Doherty (pictured).
"What is 'it'—the it that is happening again?" you ask.
I'm not entirely sure. The headline, which is the logical lead-in for the first line of the piece, says, "Catholic Church fires Mass woman for marrying."
I know; I know. What is a "Mass woman"? A woman who serves at Mass? This is not an established term in the Church's liturgical books. But it turns out that "Mass" in this case means "Massachusetts." O'Doherty or his editor failed to include a period that would have clarified a bit.
But as far as I know, the Catholic churches in Massachusetts are not in the habit of firing women when they marry, so that doesn't seem to be quite the "it" that is happening again.
The "it"—though O'Doherty never actually tells us what "it" is—seems has to do with homosexuality, because the piece states (excerpts):
Cathedral High School in Springfield, Massachusetts has forced out the school's athletic director, Christine M. Judd, after she married her female partner in August.
The local diocese has listed her departure as a resignation, but Judd said she is currently exploring her legal options. It's believed that matters came to a head when an unidentified person made a photograph of Judd's wedding available to the diocese. Judd also clarified that the Cathedral High School had nothing to do with her departure, it was strictly a diocesan decision she said.
'Without being specific to this matter, it should be clear that all employees of our Catholic schools are made aware of our policies and regulations,' [diocesan spokesman Mark E.] Dupont told the press. 'This includes language that clearly states that whenever by public example, an employee engages in or espouses conduct which contravenes the doctrine and teaching of the Catholic Church, that employee may be subject to disciplinary action. To do otherwise would be in contradiction to the values we believe in and are teaching in these same schools. So while we certainly want to be compassionate and understanding, we must be true to who we are.'
So far, so good. An employee of a Catholic school publicly undertook an action (simulation of marriage) that gravely contravenes Catholic teaching (and biological reality) and made herself unsuitable for the position she occupied. The diocese then took action which led to her resignation. I'm not seeing a problem here. Sounds like the diocese did what it should have and did so in a discreet manner, refusing to comment on the case specifically.
O'Doherty, though, starts to throw a tantrum:
We must be true to who we are. So any teacher in contravention of Catholic dogma at Cathedral must be sweating right about now - I mean all the divorcees, the married people who use birth control, the men who have had vasectomies, and anyone who's privately pro-choice on abortion.
Call me a cynic, but somehow I imagine they'll all be spared. The Church is highly selective over which sins it puts up with, after all. Call it cafeteria contrition - or just call it what it is, text book religious discrimination.
It's being gay that seems to really incite Catholic purges. The question is why? What's so inherently more sinful about being gay that any trace of it must be eradicated? Do Church authorities think that just the mere fact of being gay put's you in total contravention to every Catholic teaching? Judd, 35, never discussed her sexuality during her 12-year employment at Cathedral High School.
Okay, let's pause the rant here and answer O'Doherty's questions. First off, having same sex attraction is intrinsically disordered but it isn't itself a sin. Sin involves an act of the will, and merely experiencing a feeling, even a disordered one (provided you aren't deliberately fostering it), is not a sin. So if that's what you mean by "being gay" (experiencing same sex attraction) then it doesn't "put you in total contravention to every Catholic teaching."
Deliberately acting on same sex attraction, either fostering it internally or actively going out and committing sexual acts with members of your own gender, is sinful, and gravely so. If done with adequate knowledge and deliberation, it is thus mortally sinful. If this is what one means by "being gay" (fostering and/or acting outwardly on same sex attraction) then it is gravely and potentially mortally sinful, though even that doesn't trigger the high-flown descriptor "in total contravention to every Catholic teaching."
There is a further distinction to be made between grave sins that are committed privately and those that are publicly known. It is one thing for a person to engage in gravely sinful acts in private. It is another to publicly announce the fact that one engages in them and is unrepentant concerning them.
This is what attempting a homosexual "marriage" does. It is a public statement that one rejects the Church's teaching—and simple biological reality—regarding marriage. For a teacher in a Catholic school to do this makes the person unsuitable for their position.
It isn't, contrary to what O'Doherty says, the fact that it's homosexuality that makes this so. The same thing applies in the case for any grave sin. If a teacher were to get up and say, "I don't care what the Church says about contraception; I want the world to know that I contracept and I'm proud of it" then that person likewise would be unsuitable as a teacher in a Catholic school. The same goes for one who says, "I don't care what the Church says about abortion. I think abortion is fine." And it goes for those who Christ's teachings regarding the permanence of marriage (Mark 10:2-12) or who publicly reject the Church's teaching on any matter concerning grave sin.
It is the act of publicly rejecting the Church's teaching on a grave matter—regardless of what that matter is—that makes one an unsuitable as a teacher in a Catholic institution, particularly one devoted to the education of children.
So, despite O'Doherty's desire to see homosexuals as uniquely singled out, here, that isn't the case.
He states that Judd had not discussed her sexual orientation during her time at the school. Had she continued this practice, she would presumably still be employed there. But by choosing to publicly simulate matrimony, she publicly repudiated Church teaching on a grave matter and thus made herself unsuitable.
One could quibble and suggest that perhaps she could have kept her "marital" status from the children, and perhaps she could have. But a person who publicly announces his or her opposition to Church teaching by going down to the courthouse (or wherever) and officially registering it has performed such a profound rejection of Church teaching that parents (and administrators) of a Catholic school cannot have confidence that this person will be able to keep this fact from the children at the school.
Parents are paying good money to have their children receive a Catholic education, and they're entitled to getting their money's worth. Any person who publicly registers opposition to Catholic teaching has fundamentally compromised their ability to serve as an authentic witness to Catholic values. They clearly find Catholic values so onerous that they do not choose to refrain from publicly registering their opposition to it, and even if they are (somehow) able to keep their mouths shut in front of the children about it, others may discover the fact (as seems to have happened in this case) and word may get back to the children that way. Either way, the person has compromised their witness to basic Catholic values and parents would be entirely within their rights to find such a person an unsuitable provider of a Catholic education for their children.
O'Doherty continues:
So could it be that her firing was predicated on one the most frequent charges we hear about marriage equality - if it's passed at the federal level eventually gay people will start suing to have their marriages performed in church?
The fact that this has never happened anywhere in the world, ever, hasn't deterred conservatives from making this argument. It could happen, they say. The Cleveland Spiders could win the World Series, too - hey, you never know.
Judd's resignation (and firing, if it had come to that) was already entirely justified completely apart from the hypothetical that O'Doherty raises. He's punching a straw man here, though the homosexual lobby has already demonstrated its willingness to use lawsuits to force compliance with its agenda on numerous fronts. Here in America the First Amendment may provide some protection against the specific case he raises, but it's still a straw man.
But hypotheticals are unreal things, what's happening to Christine M. Judd is a terrific reality.
Points for knowing that "terrific" used to mean "terrifying." Loss of points for not seeming to know that "terrifying" is now the appropriate word in this case.
Critics who say that it's a private school run by the Catholic Church, and that she knew the rules and got what was coming to her, need to examine their own reasoning for cognitive dissonance - marriage equality wasn't legal in the state twelve years ago. And it may be worth mentioning that many gay people work these jobs because they're an economic necessity.
As far as it being a private school and Judd knowing the rules in advance, yes. The fact that homosexual "marriage" wasn't legal in Massachusetts 12 years ago is irrelevant. She knew the rules in 2010 and chose to simulate marriage anyway. The idea of economic necessity is also irrelevant. Having a job may be an economic necessity but having a homosexual wedding is not.
However you look at it, it's a sad story. In recent months children as young as five have been thrown out of Catholic schools in the United States for simply having gay parents. It's a new and disturbing tactic.
Correction: Children have been denied enrollment in Catholic schools for having same-sex caretakers who are publicly simulating marriage in open opposition to Catholic teaching.
When Massachusetts' Saint Paul Roman Catholic Elementary kicked out an eight-year-old boy with two mommies, Boston's archbishop Sean Patrick O'Malley stepped in to condemn the move. Let's hope he won't sit silently this time.
Unlikely. Springfield is in the Diocese of Springfield. Cardinal O'Malley is unlikely to publicly criticize a decision made by a brother bishop, especially in a matter like this.

Many breast-feeding mothers consider breast pumps as important as car seats and baby wipes. Whether you're going back to work or simply want the flexibility a breast pump can offer, you'll have many choices. Here's help deciding which type of breast pump is best for you.
If you'll be away from the baby only occasionally and your milk supply is well-established, a simple hand pump might be all you need. You simply place a cone-shaped shield on your breast and squeeze the handle to express the milk. If you're returning to work full time or you're planning to be away from your baby for more than a few hours a day, an electric pump is a better option.
Consider waiting to get a pump until after your baby is born, when you might better know how you'll be using it.
A typical pumping session lasts about 10 to 15 minutes a breast. If you'll be pumping at work or in other time-crunched situations, you might want to invest in an electric breast pump that allows you to pump both breasts at once. A double-breast pump helps stimulate milk production while reducing pumping time by half.
You can buy breast pumps from medical supply stores and most drugstores and baby stores, as well as many discount department stores. Electric pumps typically cost more than manual models. Because there's a small risk of contamination, don't borrow or buy a used personal-use breast pump.
You might also consider renting a hospital-grade electric breast pump from a hospital or medical supply store — especially if you're pumping milk while your baby is hospitalized or you've chosen to feed your baby expressed milk rather than breast-feed your baby. If you rent a pump, you'll need to buy the equipment that attaches your breast to the pump (pumping kit).
Most health insurance plans cover the cost of buying or renting a breast pump.
If the breast pump is difficult to assemble, take apart or clean, it's bound to be frustrating — which might reduce your enthusiasm for pumping. Make sure you can remove any parts of the pump that come in contact with your skin or milk for cleaning after use.
If you'll be toting the pump to work every day or traveling with the pump, look for a lightweight model. Some breast pumps come in a carrying case with an insulated section for storing expressed milk. Also keep noise level in mind. Some electric models are quieter than others. If it's important to be discreet, make sure the pump's noise level is acceptable.
What's comfortable for one woman might be uncomfortable for another. If you opt for an electric pump, choose one that allows you to control the degree of suction and cycling speed.
Breast shields are the cone-shaped cups that fit over your breasts and nipples. If you're concerned that the standard breast shield will be too small, check with individual manufacturers about other options. Larger or replacement shields are often available. If you want to pump both breasts at once, make sure the pump is equipped with two breast shields.
An electric pump needs to be plugged in. If an outlet isn't accessible or the power fails, you'll need a rechargeable battery pack. In case of emergency, you might want to keep a manual pump handy.
If you're not sure which type of breast pump would be best for you, ask for help. A lactation consultant can help you make the best choice — and offer support as you start to use your breast pump or if you run into trouble. If you haven't worked with a lactation consultant, ask your baby's doctor for a referral or check with the obstetrics department at a local hospital.

Each day this month, I'll be spotlighting a song that seems particularly appropriate for the season.
This has been an especially busy time for discovering new planets. Last week, astronomers spotted a whole batch right outside Earth's solar system, and just yesterday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that one in particular has some of the essential elements to support life. According to writer Ryan Flinn, NASA has detected water, methane, and carbon dioxide on planet HD 209458b. It has pink air and all the trees are red. No one ever dies there. Wait a minute, those last two lines are about Planet Claire, the fictional orb concocted by The B-52's on their self-titled debut album. Back in 1979, there had never been a group quite like this before. The B-52's used oddball instrumentation, like a toy piano, a fire alarm, and a walkie talkie. And their lyrics were pure nonsense. Opening with a lengthy instrumental passage that features eerie keyboards, "Planet Claire" introduces us to an unnamed alien who came from the title planet via a Plymouth Satellite that she drives faster than the speed of light. Like all Clairelings, she doesn't have a head, so it's hard to imagine how she could see where she's going. Then again, you could say the same thing about Earthlings who text while driving. Vocalist Fred Schneider affects an appropriately silly tone throughout the song, especially when he screams, "WELL SHE ISN'T" in response to speculation that the alien is "from Mars or one of the seven stars that shine after 3:30 in the morning." Unlike other outer space invaders, this visitor from "Planet Claire" doesn't appear to have any evil plans. She's been partying here on Earth for three decades, and she might even be Paris Hilton's BFF.

New Google WiSpy Misrepresentation Evidence -- Will FTC Reopen its Investigation?
Submitted by Scott Cleland on Thu, 2011-07-28 11:10
New evidence, that Google's StreetView WiSpy cars collected and made public an additional category of sensitive consumer data (i.e the unique device identifiers or MAC addresses of consumers' personal smart phones and laptops) that was not previously known, strongly indicates that Google was deceptive with, and withheld essential evidence from, FTC WiSpy investigators last year. (The FTC's Section 5 authority states: "deceptive acts and practices...are...unlawful.")
I. New evidence of Google deceptive acts:
Kudos to CNET's Declan McCullagh for his outstanding and detailed reporting that uncovered this new and relevant WiSpy misrepresentation evidence.
II. Why should FTC reopen its WiSpy investigation?
First, the FTC closed its investigation based on Google misrepresentations of what it did in the past and what it would do in the future.
In an FTC staff letter to Google, the FTC announced it closed its investigation of Google WiSpy because:
Second, if the CNET evidence proves true, Google was deceptive and showed a lack of candor to investigators in claiming that:
If the FTC can confirm the new CNET evidence, then Google was deceptive and not forthright with FTC investigators about the existence of another relevant category of sensitive consumer WiFi data that Google:
If this new evidence is even partly true, Google may have been involved in a systematic cover-up to thwart a Federal law enforcement investigation.
Third, Google has continued its deceptive acts and misrepresentations about what private consumer data was collected, used and made public.
In sum, Google's misrepresentation vulnerability under the FTC's Section 5 authority, which makes deceptive acts and practices unlawful, only appears to grow.
The takeaway here is that if the FTC knew that Google's core representations and assurances that led the FTC staff to drop their WiSpy investigation, were deceptive and not truthful, the FTC would not have dropped its investigation of Google WiSpy, but would have dug deeper to determine if Google perpetrated illegal deceptive acts and practices under Section 5 that could potentially harm consumers.

After taking part in five meets this Indoor Season, the Tigerbelles and Flying Tigers will try to end the year on a high note before starting the Outdoor Schedule on Mar. 15.
In TSU's last meet in Murfreesboro on Feb. 9, Quanisha Sales and Ashontae Jackson led the Tigerbelles with four top-three finishes. Sales won the 55 meter with a time of 7.13 seconds and also took third place in the 200 meter (25.45). Sales finished behind Jackson who came in second place in the 200 after running the event in 25.23 seconds. Jackson also placed second in the 400 meter with a final time of 56.24 seconds- the fourth best time in the conference this year.

EDMONTON - The Alberta government says rising energy prices and a stronger than expected economy means the province will have to borrow almost $3 billion less than it had planned this year to build roads, hospitals and schools.
The province's first-quarter update says borrowing for capital projects is now forecast to be just over $2 billion in 2014-15 — down from $4.8 billion in the last budget.
The overall projected surplus for the year has grown by $300 million since the budget to almost $1.4 billion.
Finance Minister Doug Horner said revenue is up due to higher energy forecasts and stronger corporate income taxes.
"I can say with confidence that I believe we have turned the corner financially," Horner said Wednesday. "When it comes to Alberta's economic indicators, everything is looking up."
Total revenue is on track to be up by more than $900 million. Most of that increase is coming from non-renewable resources.
Operational expenses are also up by $328 million. That is being attributed to increased funding for post-secondary institutions, a reassessment of flood assistance spending and more money to combat mountain pine beetles.
NDP Leader Brian Mason said things will head south as soon as oil prices drop and it's time the province stops depending on such an unstable revenue source for daily operations.
"While it is up now, it will be down tomorrow, and unless we can get off the royalty roller-coaster, we are going to continue the situation where, when the price of oil drops, we are laying off nurses and teachers," Mason said.
Critics, such as the Opposition Wildrose party and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, have complained that the surpluses don't paint a true picture of the government's financial standing because they are being underwritten by billions in debt to pay for capital projects.
The province is forecasting a total debt of $11 billion since it began borrowing to pay for infrastructure in 2013. That's down $2.8 billion from what was forecast in the spring budget.
"We are at a time when we are getting record revenues and we have a government that is still not able to live within its means," Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith said.
"They have demonstrated they simply are not capable of managing our incredible wealth and our incredible resource wealth. There is absolutely no excuse for us to be running a shortfall."
Horner dismissed that criticism.
"At the end of the day, no matter how you analyze the numbers, the strong surplus position does not change," Horner said. "Alberta is on strong financial ground and will continue to be going forward."

There are quite literally, hundreds of systems that you can learn - some better than others. The greatest aspect of earning a living online is that regardless of your level of skill, your interests or your financial position, there will be a way for you to get started. If you are serious about quitting your day job and to make money online, here are three of the best ways to do it.
1.Taking Online Surveys
Ok, I know that survey sites sprung up everywhere, but if you do this correctly, taking online surveys is still one of the best ways to start earning money online. You won't get rich and you won't quit your day job, but you will at least make some 'seed money' that you can use to get started with your online business. This is the ideal way for someone who is broke and who hasn't got the money needed to start with something more advanced.
2. Start Your Own Online Store
Online shopping is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and an estimated 9% of all shopping is now done online. Do you think this number is going to increase? You bet! Establishing your online store will pay huge dividends in the future. The challenge with an online store however is that it takes quite a bit of money to get started and along with the technical skills to run an online shop you also have all the distribution and stock to deal with. This is a great option if you already have a product or a real shop and you want to migrate to the online world. Keep in mind that to make money online the best ways are the ways that suit you best.
3. Create And Sell Digital Products
Most people fail to grasp the significance of the information age. Information has become a commodity and online, information is king. Information products are one of the biggest markets online and the sale of ebooks, mp3 audio and video products are huge. Not only is there a lot of money in this, but digital products require no inventory, no shipping and distribution (all just downloaded products) and the sale of digital products can be completely automated. Digital stores like ClickBank host an incredible amount of products and you can either create your own digital products or promote products as an affiliate. Affiliate marketing is still one of the most lucrative ways to make money online. There are several excellent systems that show you how to profit from digital products and some affiliates earn millions of dollars every month by only selling other people's products online.
To make money online the best ways rely heavily on your own committed effort. Once you commit to something then commit to it fully. The differences between someone who earns $10,000 a month and someone who earns $1,000 is very subtle and often the smallest little things distinguish a success from a failure. To make money online, the best ways are the ones that you do and apply to the very end. Find what looks doable for you and then just do it full out!

Krolmir, Hammer of Storms is the personal weapon of Thorim the Stormlord.
When Thorim's wife, Sif, was slain by his brother Loken, Thorim threw the hammer to the earth with all the power and rage he possessed, creating the site now known as Thunderfall.[1]
As his final act, King Arngrim cast a rune on the hammer to prevent his enemies from claiming it. When Thorim's ties with the Sons of Hodir were strengthened, many years later, King Jokkum returned the hammer to its rightful owner.[1]
Its relation to the similarly named [Vulmir, the Northern Tempest], which is found in the Cache of Storms, if any, is unknown.
Krolmir is based on Mjölnir, the hammer of the Norse god Thor.

text: Show Hide image World 16 February 2012 John Pilger: Let's learn from Blair's crimes, so we don't repeat them in Syria The warmongering and human rights abuses of the New Labour years seem forgotten by all but the likes of Gareth Peirce. Yet Blair's legacy lingers on in Afghanistan and Iraq and is re-emerging in Syria and Iran. Sign-up In the kabuki theatre of British parliamentary politics, great crimes do not happen and criminals go free. It is theatre, after all; the pirouettes matter, not actions taken at remove in distance and culture from their consequences. It is a secure arrangement guarded by cast and critics alike. The farewell speech of one of the most artful, Tony Blair, had "a sense of moral conviction running through it", effused the television presenter Jon Snow, as if Blair's appeal to kabuki devotees was mystical. That he was a war criminal was irrelevant. The suppression of Blair's criminality and that of his administrations is described in Gareth Peirce's Dispatches from the Dark Side: on Torture and the Death of Justice, published in paperback this month by Verso. Peirce is Britain's most distinguished human rights lawyer; her pursuit of miscarriages of justice and justice for victims of state crimes, such as torture and rendition, is unsurpassed. What is unusual about this accounting of what she calls the "moral and legal pandemonium" following the 9/11 attacks is that, in drawing on the memoirs of Blair and Alastair Campbell, cabinet minutes and MI6 files, she applies the rule of law to them. Advocates such as Peirce, Phil Shiner and Clive Stafford-Smith have ensured the indictment of dominant powers is no longer taboo. Israel, America's hitman, is now widely recognised as the world's most lawless state. The likes of Donald Rumsfeld now avoid countries where the law reaches beyond borders, as do George W Bush and Blair. Jackdaw travels Deploying sinecures of "peacemaking" and "development" that allow him to replenish the fortune he accumulated since leaving Downing Street, Blair's jackdaw travels are concentrated on the Gulf sheikhdoms, the US, Israel and safe havens such as the small African nation of Rwanda. Since 2007, Blair has made seven visits to Rwanda, where he has access to a private jet supplied by President Paul Kagame. Kagame's regime, whose opponents have been silenced brutally on trumped-up charges, is "innovative" and a "leader" in Africa, says Blair. Peirce's book achieves the impossible on Blair: it shocks. Tracing the "unjustifiable theses, unrestrained belligerence, falsification and wilful illegality" that led to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, she identifies Blair's assault on Muslims as criminal and racist. "Human beings presumed to hold [Islamist] views were to be disabled by any means possible, and permanently . . . in Blair's language a 'virus' to be 'eliminated' and requiring 'a myriad of interventions [sic] deep into the affairs of other nations'." Whole societies were reduced to "splashes of colour" on a canvas upon which Labour's Napoleon would "reorder the world". The very notion of war was wrenched from its dictionary meaning and became "our values versus theirs". The perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks, mostly Saudis who trained to fly in America, were all but forgotten. Instead, the "splashes of colour" were made blood-red - first in Afghanistan, land of the poorest of the poor. No Afghans were members of al-Qaeda; on the contrary, there was mutual resentment. No matter. Once the bombing began on 7 October 2001, tens of thousands of Afghans were punished with starvation as the World Food Programme withdrew aid on the cusp of winter. In one stricken village, Bibi Mahru, I witnessed the aftermath of a single Mk 82 "precision" bomb's obliteration of two families, including eight children. "TB," Campbell wrote, "said they had to know that we would hurt them if they don't yield up OBL." The cartoon figure of Campbell was already at work on concocting another threat in Iraq. This "yielded up", according to the MIT Centre for International Studies, between 800,000 and 1.3 million deaths - a figure that exceeds the Fordham University estimate of deaths in the Rwandan genocide. And yet, Peirce wrote, "the threads of emails [and] internal government communiqués reveal no dissent". Interrogation that included torture was on "the express instructions . . . of government ministers". On 10 January 2002, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw emailed his colleagues to agree that sending British citizens to Guantanamo Bay was "the best way to meet our counterterrorism objective". He rejected "the only alternative" of repatriation to the United Kingdom. On 6 February 2002, Home Secretary David Blunkett noted that he was in "no hurry to see any individuals returned to the UK [from Guantanamo]". Three days later, the Foreign Office minister Ben Bradshaw wrote: "We need to do all that we can to avoid the detainees being repatriated to the UK." Not one of the people to whom they referred had been charged with anything; most had been sold as bounty by Afghan warlords to the Americans. Death by misadventure Immersed in its misadventure and lies, listening only to their leader's crooned "sincerity", the Labour government consulted no one who spoke the truth. Peirce cites one of the most reliable sources, the Conflicts Forum, run by the former intelligence officer Alastair Crooke, who argues that, to "isolate and demonise [Islamic] groups that have support on the ground, the perception is reinforced that the west only understands the language of military strength". In wilfully denying this truth, Blair, Campbell and their echoes planted the roots of the 7/7 attacks in London. Today, another Afghanistan and Iraq beckon in Syria and Iran, perhaps even a world war. Once again, voices such as Crooke's attempt to explain to a media salivating for "intervention" in Syria that the civil war in that country requires skilled and patient negotiation, not the provocations of the British SAS and the familiar bought-and-paid-for exiles who ride in Anglo-America's Trojan horse.

All News Releases By Date
$1.8 Million in Grants for Contaminated Land Cleanup, Economic Development in Rhode Island
Release Date: 05/18/2009
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – May 18, 2009) – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson announced today the nationwide availability of an estimated $111.9 million in grants bolstered by funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to help communities clean up sites known as "brownfields" which may be contaminated by hazardous chemicals or pollutants.
The grants for Rhode Island, which include $1.2 million from the Recovery Act and $600,000 from the EPA brownfields general program funding, will help revitalize former industrial and commercial sites, turning them from problem properties to productive community use.
"Cleaning and reusing contaminated properties provides the catalyst to improving the lives of residents living in or near brownfields communities," said EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson. "A revitalized brownfields site reduces threats to human health and the environment, creates green jobs, promotes community involvement, and attracts investment in local neighborhoods."
"EPA's Brownfield's program has been an incredibly powerful economic engine, helping communities throughout New England to assess, clean and reclaim abandoned parcels, returning property to productive uses," said Ira Leighton, acting regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "We are proud that with an additional $1.2 million for Brownfields work in Rhode Island, the Recovery Act will be helping to jump start local economies, putting people to work creating a cleaner and healthier environment."
Applicants selected to receive Recovery Act funds are:
- Rhode Island Dept. of Environmental Management, $1 million, community-wide "coalition" grant
- City of Woonsocket, $200,000, cleanup grant
Applicants selected to receive brownfields general program funds are:
- City of East Providence, $200,000, cleanup grant for Riverside Square
- Town of Glocester, $200,000, cleanup grant for Chepachet River State Park site
- City of Pawtucket, $200,000, cleanup grant
The grants will help to assess, cleanup and redevelop abandoned, contaminated properties known as brownfields. Brownfields are sites where expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. In addition, the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002 expanded the definition of a brownfield to include mine-scarred lands or sites contaminated by petroleum or the manufacture of illegal drugs. Grant recipients are selected through a national competition. The Brownfields Program encourages development of America's estimated 450,000 abandoned and contaminated waste sites.
President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 on February 17, 2009, and has directed that the Recovery Act be implemented with unprecedented transparency and accountability. To that end, the American people can see how every dollar is being invested at Recovery.gov.

Red Wings' Justin Abdelkader suspended
- Detroit forward Justin Abdelkader got five-minute major for hit in 4-0 loss Saturday to Anaheim
- Hit late in second period left Ducks defenseman Lydman woozy and unable to play in the third
- Ducks lead 2-1 in NHL%27s Western Conference quarterfinal
DETROIT - The Red Wings will have to make do for the next two games without top-line forward Justin Abdelkader.
Abdelkader was suspended for Monday's Game 4 at Joe Louis Arena and Wednesday's Game 5 at Honda Center. The Ducks lead the first-round series 2-1.
The NHL held a 4 p.m. conference call to dissect Abdelkader's hit on Anaheim Ducks defenseman Toni Lydman late in the second period of Saturday's 4-0 loss at Joe Louis Arena. Abdelkader was handed a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct after referees consulted with linesmen. At first, no penalty was called on the hit.
Abdelkader and general manager Ken Holland both discussed the incident with league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan, who ended up handing out a suspension in line with earlier events these playoffs.
In a video statement, Shanahan explained his decision. "Abdelkader skates a considerable distance, and elevates to violently check Lydman, making significant head contact. ... Abdelkader elevates at contact, turning what could have been a hard, full-body check into a high, violent check with significant contact to the head, that caused an injury."
Holland told the Detroit Free Press that, "we disagree. I thought it was a real hard body check. But, we respect their decision. We've got to put a team together and win a game."
By the time the decision was made, the Red Wings were long scattered from Joe Louis Arena, where they hadopted for off-ice workouts rather than a practice. Coach Mike Babcock said he had his reserves on notice to play if needed, guys like Todd Bertuzzi and Jordin Tootoo.
The hit appeared to start out as a shoulder-to-shoulder collision, but Abdelkader did go out of his way to make the hit, and was coming with such speed that his feet left the ice upon impact. This is how Mike Babcock saw it: "I think it was shoulder-to-shoulder, bent knees going into the guy, exploding through him. But if I'm coaching them, or playing for them, I can find a way to see it different. I thought it was pretty good contact."
The NHL has made a very determined effort in recent years to recognize the importance of protecting players, especially when head shots are involved, whether blatant or not. There's less blame put on a player who maybe fails to keep his head up, and more on the hitter to be aware of what he's doing.
"Players are a lot more aware, we've all seen the head shots," Red Wings forward Daniel Cleary said. "The last couple of years from Shanny, he's done his videos, what he deems legal and illegal. But the onus has to fall on the player, and that's giving a hit and also protecting yourself out there. You have to be aware at all times, and sometimes you can't — I don't know if Toni just didn't see Abby, if he blindsided him. We all agree, we don't want anyone to get hurt out there."
Abdelkader plays a key role on the top line next to Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg, retrieving the puck and going to the net for the team's two superstars. Anticipating a suspension, Jimmy Howard said being without Abelkader is "definitely be a big loss for us. He's one of the forwards that gets in on the forecheck, gets in there and bangs for us. He's not afraid to go to the dirty areas in front of the net and create havoc. It'd definitely be a loss for our lineup."

Some of my favorite comics include:
The public fear of getting heavily involved in world affairs, the appeal of Weird people, Monsterous Discrepancies, how some people see people, and the intangible support of Internet Friends. If there is a fault, its that sometimes, the reduced text is too small to see, and zooming in on a relevant page isn't as easy at first look, as evidenced in this "flipped" Manga about being alright..
Most of these comics go out of their way to say something, and help spread the word of other cartoonists worldwide. But there's one particular Argentinian cartoonist who although is largely respected in European and foreign countries, remains as far removed as a household name over here. I'm talking of course, about Quino.
|A bit of idol worship here, but I'm hoping I'll be able to bridge a gap.
He started out doing stints in advertising for magazines and newspapers before being commissioned to create a comic that would have traits of Blondie and Peanuts, resulting in his most famous creation, Mafalda, which despite its similar setup of precocious children, is NOTHING like Peanuts. At the height of his popularity, he decided to end his strip for personal reasons that continue to be reflected and speculated on, and returned to doing Political comics again in his imitable style. In that regard, he's kind of like the Anti-Watterson.
|One theory is that Quino didn't want Mafalda to grow up and become an ordinary girl.
to authority...
to religion...
to security...
to appreciation of the arts...
and the occasional Dadaism.
So why isn't Quino better known over here? This can be summed up with three theories:
1. As cartoony as his artwork is, his subject material is quite esoteric, and the humour isn't always consistent. Likewise, the lettering which can loop and weave across the page requires more than just a simple photoshop job.
2. Abundance of space for single-panel comics, which while allowing the art to breath on its own, could be seen as wasting pages, and could be better put to use by placing numerous comics onto a single page. Likewise, many of his comics are done in pantomime, and even the ones that are heavily verbose can still be understood.
|This seemingly simple concept took up the entire lower half of a page.
But probably the main reason is that his comic strip Mafalda has never been shown in any American newspapers, not even in reprints. People aren't likely to pick up work from a reputed cartoonist without having had prior experience with it.
Dirk Deppey of Journalista! fame often expressed his admiration for Gordo, a Mexican newspaper comic
with interesting Sunday comic designs. But even his outright promotion for the comic wasn't enough to guarantee annual collections of the favored cult strip. Sure, there were collections of the old stuff, but they were rare and hard to find, and unless you made a conscious effort to find them, they would easily slip under your radar without ever noticing. such is the same dilemma faced with Quino.
Mafalda collections were quietly released in 2004, and then never spoken of ever again. Maybe the cross-promotional approach wasn't strong enough. Maybe the audience appeal wasn't there. Maybe Charles Schultz speaking out in favor of the cartoonist on his wiki wasn't enough. (A stronger comparison would be Sergio Aragones) One reason that's been brought up is that Mafalda was too Latin-American for an American public, which is ridiculous, given that the majority of audiences worldwide can relate to her, and other foreign works in other countries have made a home here as well. Then again, Americans don't like Asterix and Tintin, so what do I know?
Another possibility is that the subjects Mafalda brings up tends to make people nervous. (As they should) My hope is that by showing some representative samples of the man's editorial work may spur interest on seeing more, and reignite interest where there was previously none.
|Hasn't every child thought of this at least once?

Whether you have patrol cruisers sweeping an area for problems or secured areas that need vehicle access
For license plate recognition to work, your camera needs a few specific things:
The angle of the camera is extremely important, because a camera that's installed too high cannot see the license plate
The distance from the camera to the car must also be considered - while a camera may be able to zoom in quite a distance, you want to minimize the distance between camera and car
Lighting is also important - whether you install lights or use the camera's built-in IR, you will need additional lighting at night
The speed of oncoming traffic must be low enough that the camera has enough time to focus on the license plate
In addition, you'll need to pay attention to the quality of the image. To be used as legal evidence, your video may need to meet standards set by your local law enforcement; one requirement might be that the captured license plate image be at least 15 pixels tall, to ensure clarity.
